What to do If a Mushroom Tears in Half

[euphoria]

What should I do if one of my mushrooms tore in half. I have many more mushrooms on the rock itself, but one of them is torn in half and is dangling in the air.
Will it heal or die?

Hiya,
It will probably turn into another mushroom. I've read of people cutting up their 'rooms so that they get more.

It will heal and both will become mushrooms, might as well tear the other part off. It won't look pretty for a while but they will heal.

Oh awesome. You guys are good news to my ears
I"ll tear it and put it somewhere else in the tank. Will that be ok?

Make sure its in a low flow area, or it will just blow around. Or you could glue it.

I've never had any luck gluing shrooms/zoos. I always seem to get too much glue on them and then they can't open.
Putting a pair of pantyhose over them for a couple days so they stay on the rock has been the best way I've found so far.

Pantyhose, the popular "wedding veil", or any sort of mesh/net will work. You can also just put it on a piece of LR rubble in a shallow container (like a disposable tupperware container) in your tank. The walls should shield it from strong flows that could blow it around.
